Stimulation of the construction industry is sought by making the requirements for accessing the funds of the Banhprovi trust more flexible.

Reynaldo Yanes wrote in Laprensahn.com: "Of the 10 billion Lempiras ($529 million) which the Banhprovi trust has, up to 4 billion ($212 million) will be invested to stimulate the construction industry in both the public and private sectors by way of a rediscount through the banking system."
